with Republicans, decides that the Democratic
Commissioned of Education may visit Alaska
to examine its school system, and may have
the expenses of his trip paid out of the Con-

schools. There are no schools in Alaska to
speak of, and no necessity of the commissioner
going there, but it will be nice summer trip
for him at public expense.

build expectations on, at any rate.

tried to controvert Mr.. Blanchard's
argument against third term, by
stating that Sc governors have held

EIGHT years, and the written and

of appointing the peoples choice,
he appointed Will A. Strong as

President Cleveland's message
to Congress last Monday is docu-
ment of unmistakable force, and
will exert a powerful influence
upon the Legislation of that body.
His views upon the tariff question
are decided, and expressed with
the firmness of conviction. His
policy is to reduce the tariff upon
articles of utility and necessity,
while the revenue duties levied on
tobacco and whisky should be
raised. He proves to the farmer
that high tariff can have no in
fuence to raise the price of the
products he has to sell, while it
saddles upon him an unnecessarily
high price for his agricultural i'm
plements and all the articles of
domestic use. 1t is about four

pers, too long for us to publish it
entire, but we will endeavor to give

Atlas is usually accompanied by
rough, inaccurate, and inelegant
engraving and printing, but in the
New Pocket Atlas of the World,
published by Ivison, Brakeman &
Co., 753 & 755 Broadway, New
York, this is not the fact Ninety
one maps containing nearly every
geographical point of interest
throughout the world, are given,
and each is q gem of the engraver's
art Delicately yet distinctly col
ored, these maps are exquisite
illustrations of the best color
printing to-day obtainable. While
the maps leave nothing to be de-
sired by way of fullness, they are
fully up to date, and show every
recent discovery, or change of
boundary. One hundred and
twelve pages of terse, well-arranged
and accurate information concern
ing every important country or
State on the globe, follow the maps
in this compact volume. In fact,
the book is not only comprehen-
sive Atlas, but also 9 condensed

all put in an attractive and sub
stantial binding, and sold for fifty
cents. On receipt of this sum the
publishers mail it to any address.
